UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
BRAYTON SOLIS GOMEZ,
Petitioner,
v.
CHRISTOPHER LAROSE, Warden, et
al.,
Respondents.
Case No.: 26-cv-5750-BJC-SBC
ORDER SETTING BRIEFING
SCHEDULE FOR PETITION FOR
WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS AND
APPOINTING COUNSEL
[ECF No. 1]
On October 7, 2026, Petitioner Brayton Solis Gomez, proceeding pro se, filed a
Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. ECF No. 1. After a
review of the petition, this Court deems it appropriate to require Respondents to file a
response, and finds that representation is necessary given the complexity and potential
validity of the constitutional, statutory, and procedural issues presented. Weygandt v. Look,
718 F.2d 952, 954 (9th Cir. 1983). Additionally, the Court finds a limited stay is necessary
to preserve the status quo to allow the Court to provide a reasoned decision on the pending
application. See E-C-R- v. Noem, No. 3:25-CV-1230-SI, 2025 WL 2300543, at *1 (D. Or.
July 16, 2025) (finding an order under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651, necessary to
prevent the arrest, detention or deportation of the plaintiff while the parties litigate the
merits of the plaintiff’s motion for injunctive relief); Du v. United States Dep’t of
